Arrhythmias in Relation to Mortality after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of mortality and potentially modifiable factors related to arrhythmias in patients that undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Patients that undergo TAVR are at risk for complete heart block requiring pacemaker implant. Additionally, other arrhythmias, specifically atrial fibrillation, are common in this population. It is unclear how arrhythmias and their management contribute to mortality risk.
